I'm glad to hear she's doing well in Australia. She certainly was struggling in the WNBA, occasional games when she played well, but not a consistent significant contributor to the Dream. I assume that she was not one of the Dream 6 players protected in the expansion draft given how little she played, and thought was possible that the Valkyries might take her, at least in part because of her Bay Area connections. But they didn't, and frankly, I was pleased they didn't. Her best year for Stanford was her sophomore one, and yes, she was asked to do things out of position her senior season, but she just wasn't the player she'd been earlier, IMHO. I found myself wondering if the Valkyrie team talked to Tara or Kate about her before deciding to take someone else from the Dream, again, assuming that she was not a protected player and thus was available.
